So i think u can look for it next yr jan at BOWS show... If u signed during that time, more perks and still can bargain for more photos.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah tydy is right, slowly see and choose your wedding package. Sign up during roadshows or wedding shows, better bargain. If your ROM is on a different date as your AD, try to get them to loan you your ROM dresses, suit for your FH, flowers and make up for your ROM. Save you a lot of $ and trouble Edited August 12, 2008 by asylum_ship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashes02 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2008 Thanks for the advice! my ROM is this year 17 Nov 08, will be keeping it simple so mostly probably will buy a real simple dress, shoes and maybe makeup on my own, cos i only intend to invite his and my family, total only ard 10 pax hehe~ is the banquet i am worried about....
